Maersk Broker Shipbroker Trainee Programme 2023
Did you know that approx. 90% of the world’s trade is carried by sea? There are currently more than 50,000 ships on the oceans, transporting various cargoes to make our lives easier, e.g. bicycles, food and energy supplies. At the same time, the Shipping industry is becoming more sustainable. To make all of this happen, communication, people skills and an understanding of trade mechanisms is needed. Would you like to learn more, become part of the worlds’ trade, affect the development of Shipping and at the same time have fun?
By becoming a Shipbroker Trainee, you will be trained to be a trusted advisor for various possible clients within the shipping business. You will achieve this by building partnerships, providing market knowledge, negotiating, make ends meet and ensure the best outcome. Your job will entail working with people, who are ship owners, charterers, brokers, and other representatives in the industry from all over the world. Furthermore, working in Shipping means flexibility as the business is around the clock. And, once you are a trained Shipbroker, you will be entrusted with responsibility and freedom to work independently.
We offer an exciting international career opportunity that combines good people skills with an interest in the world…
You will go through a two-year programme combining on-the-job training and theoretical education via the Danish Shipping Academy. During your two years of training, a colleague will be your mentor and support you throughout the traineeship. After completing the traineeship, you will have the skills to become a successful Shipbroker. However, we will work with you and support you in your development.
Maersk Broker is represented in all shipping segments - Container vessels, Bulk carriers, Tankers and Offshore. Also, we both do Newbuildings, Sales & Purchase and Chartering. Based on your interests, skills and personality, you will work in a specific segment and/or area. You will be part of a dynamic, international team and will learn everything you need to know about Shipping in general - and about Shipbroking in particular.
At Maersk Broker, we value teamwork and believe that our employees are our greatest assets, who benefit from the collegial atmosphere. We are passionate about what we do - and we, of course, expect you to be as well.
